Great family time together, no cooking, washing or cleaning. It was annoying the amount of time you could wait to be served though.

Embarkation

Easy peasy, from getting out of the taxi to my cabin was around 15 minutes!

Service and Staff

3 out of 5
Only saw the room steward on day one, waiters were not over friendly but they were so busy, there simply didn't seem to be enough staff.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Restricted view outside - the view was fine it's between 2 lifeboats, the only issue was noise one morning when they lowered a lifeboat for some reason.....very noisy.
